[A Psalm] of instruction for David, when he
was in the cave,-- a Prayer. 142:1 I cried to the Lord with my voice; with
my voice I made supplication to the Lord.
142:2 I will pour out before him my supplication: I will declare before him
mine affliction.
142:3 When my spirit was fainting within me, then thou knewest my paths; in
the very way wherein I was walking, they hid a snare for me.
142:4 I looked on [my] right hand, and behold, for there was none that
noticed me; refuge failed me; and there was none that cared for my soul.
142:5 I cried unto thee, O Lord, and said, Thou art my hope, my portion in
the land of the living.
142:6 Attend to my supplication, for I am brought very low; deliver me from
them that persecute me; for they are stronger than I.
142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to thy name, O
Lord; the righteous shall wait for me, until thou recompense me. |
Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in
the cave. 142:1 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto
the LORD did I make my supplication.
142:2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path.
In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
142:4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would
know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
142:5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion
in the land of the living.
142:6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my
persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous
shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. |
